What should I do?

Y'all don't know how hard it is trying to have my man open up to me w/o him thinking it's being "soft". I don't ever want my s/o to feel like he doesn't have anyone or that he's lonely and act like he has to be strong on the outside when he's stressing so much on the inside. I just want him to feel like he can talk to me abt anything and that I'll always be there for him and stick by his side nmw.
